    SW:142
    Week 2: 135
    Week 3: 133.4
    GW:115 (my wedding day)

    Oh boy, I do like diet soda, and this morning I said "mmm...how about a diet coke with lemon today"...well I guess you guys called my bluff and I won't have that soda. :-)

    Also want to share the results of my body composition test. It inputs your age and height, then you step on to the machine barefoot and out comes a little receipt showing all your numbers...most important your water percentage and body fat...well let's just say I had a rude awakening. My body fat percentage was pretty high and although I am losing lbs. I need to focus on more building muscle and shedding some fat.

    Uh oh! I had the exact same thought about 10 minutes ago and then I logged in here! Darn... no soda today. I am in the habit of weighing in on Wednesdays, so I think I'll just post it then. This week I lost another lb, which is just fine by me, slow and steady wins the race.

    Good luck girls!! It's hard, I had to put down my soda today and i'm so used to having at least one a day. For those of you that find it hard, maybe just try one less this week. Good luck!

    Absolutely! The more the better! I post a new thread every week. We make a new challenge every week so that it mixes things up. Congrats on the engagement and welcome to the Get Fit Brides!

    tried my new exercise today - borrowed my mums bike to cycle outside rather than my usual stationery bike was nice to get out in the open air... did get rained on though! and still no fizzy drinks - i don't really drink fizzy stuff unless i'm drinking alcohol along with it and thats only about once a month! good luck to everyone else!

    Riveraphx: Did you buy a special scale or was that something they have at the gym? I'd be curious to do that myself.

    I didn't make it all week without a diet coke, but I made it most of the week! I, *ahem* also never made it to spinning or Bikram. But I did go to the gym! So, this week's results:

    8/11: 227
    8/17: 225.8
    Down 1.2 pounds!

    Well this week was brutal. I fell back into bad habits, but managed not to gain anything. Getting back on track this week.

    It's possible! But... how tall are you? You're looking at 2.3 pounds per week to lose, so you'll really have to stick to it and work out 4-6 days per week (depending on your current fitness level and workout intensity) on top of the 30 minute walk, specifically targeted toning.

    You can absolutely join. The more the better! Cutting down your meals, I hope you mean portion control. It actually helps for some people to more during the day, just smaller portions. I think if you add some exercise and do it the healthy way it will help you reach your goal. Just don't be hard on yourself. Remember the person you marry loves you for you and although you want to look your very best on your special day, don't resort to unhealthy ways to obtain that. Good luck to you!!

    Hi there! I am getting married in just 5 weeks. I started my Bride Diet this week and have lost one pound. Woohoo! Just looking to tone up and maybe lose about 5 lbs before the big day. Wish me luck!
